Search for Oz
rather than caring Not so with Richard Bronson, a fine
physician-poet whose compassionate heart energizes the
poems in Search for Oz, his first collection. In his work
Bronson combines the precise craftsmanship one would
expect of a surgeon with the passion of a man who
remains open to his feelings and those of others; and he
informs the wisdom of experience with the audacity of
youth. Search for Oz is a pilgrimage into his own country
by a man who has "all the time in the world/ and none."
("Another Country"). It is a journey of sadness and
celebration, of apocalyptic end and hopeful progression,
and most of all, of musical "chords that resonate / with
human heart!" "Ode to My Piano")
